After 22 cruises, we would rate this in the top 5 as far as smooth sailing, but a bit lower as far as ship design and layout. We had a wonderful time.

Specialty restaurant food is by far the best, main dining rooms fair and buffet is boring.

Activities were fun but sometimes lacked enough room for all to enjoy.
